Tyler, Texas(KETK) —
A landmark Tyler business was left heavily damaged after a Monday night blaze.

The fire erupted a little after 7:00 p.m., at Moose Auto Glass, located at 4220 Timms Street just off Loop 323 behind Mike Pile BMW near the KETK studio.

The first firefighters to arrive reported heavy flames throughout the building and immediately called for a second alarm. Five engines and two ladder companies, along with a district chief and an investigator, responded to the blaze.and remained on the scene throughout the night to extinguish the flames.

According to the Tyler Fire Department, the cause of the fire is not yet known because investigators are having a difficult time getting into the damaged portion of the building, but the gargae area is a total loss. Officials tell KETK there are three segments to the building, separated by fire walls. Structural collapse occurred during the fire and hampered the extinguishment, as well as the investigation.

Four cars were inside garage at the time, but officials couldn't say if the cars were destroyed.
